The Burlington Police Department is warning the public about a recent phone scam

The Burlington Police Department is warning the public about a recent phone scam. The HawkEye reports that the police department posted on Facebook that someone has been calling individuals, claiming to be the Chief of Police, and telling callers they are in contempt of court and owe money. Burlington police say the scammers are then requesting payments from those they are calling and providing fake case numbers to attempt to appear legitimate. The police department reminds you they do not make phone calls like that, and encourage you to simply hang up if you receive one.
